parazyd and a few others have started experimenting with openrc in
ascii, but my understanding is that they are repackaging openrc from
gentoo, instead than using the packages provided by Debian.

The main problem we have to solve here is finding a smart way of
letting different init systems become interchangeable. This is not
trivial, and any choice made there will have profound implications on
the way Devuan will provide alternative inits (if at all), and on the
cost of the associated development. So I wouldn't be surprised if
having OpenRC installable and tested on ascii would require
substantially more than the time needed to read this thread ;)
